'PM Modi Under Pressure From Trump': Rahul Gandhi Claims As Trade Deal Debate Paralyses Lok Sabha

The Lok Sabha plunged into disorder after Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being “nervous” and under intense pressure from Donald Trump over the India–US trade deal. Rahul alleged the agreement was rushed through and claimed the Prime Minister had compromised India’s interests, remarks that sparked immediate objections from BJP MPs. When the Chair restrained him from referring to an article linked to national security, tensions exploded. Congress members protested fiercely, accusing the government of denying the Leader of the Opposition his right to speak, while ministers insisted parliamentary rules were being violated. The confrontation spiralled into shouting matches, paper-throwing, and repeated adjournments, effectively paralysing legislative business. The episode underscored deep political fault lines, with the trade deal, India’s foreign policy posture, and parliamentary decorum all colliding in a single explosive session.
